If reporters always kept sober, they
might miss an occasional story. A drunken
reporter who staggered into park in
Gutenberg last Sunday, stirred up a
tumult that the New York papers of Mon
day exaggerated into riot. He went in
with a chip on his shoulder, and got about
all the fight he wanted before he escaped
from the hands of the blood thirsty An
archists. 1t is true on general principles
that man should be permitted to carry
the American flag unmolested upon any
spot of the territory it covers but we
mustn't mix up drunkenness with patriot
ism, and it is not uni kelly that the reporter
was assailed as much for the drunken i'm
pudence of his manner as for the colors
with which he decorated himself Not q
word can be said in excuse of the villain
GUS crowd that held their orgies in that
park on the Sabbath, but almost as little
can be said in behalf of the reporter that
started the row.

The public schools close late this year.
Hasbrouck's Institute has set an example
of early closing, on the part of the schools,
that our Board of Education might well
have emulated. The heat of this weather
and tie confinement of the schoolroom are
very trying to the masters and misses who
are condemned to bear them to keep up
the records for the year; and itacould have
done them no harm to have given them
their vacation week earlier, than the date
fixed for its commencement.

'sWe'll grid on the armor and go march
ing along'-to Sea Girt, sang the Fourth
Regiment guardsmen, when they saw in
last Sundays paper announcement that a
seaside camp will be held this year. The
SUNDAY News was the first paper to make
the fact known, and the date was an
nounced as well as the fact that an en-
campme2t will be keld. General
Plume has since issued the order that
put in official shape the cheer
ing news we first gave to our military
friends. The local papers should have
published the facts six or seven days be-
fore the News published them. They had
been in possession of the NEWS military
reporter for whole week before we had
chance to give them out; and our military
man wonders how the story kept so long.
In his verdancy he hasn't yet learned that
the local daily paper reporters haven't yet
learned to go outside of the police stations
for their news.

Tie report, first published in the ran
dom jottings in this paper two weeks ago,
that the Pennsylvania Rail Road Com
papy contemplates changing its ferry
location from the foot of Exchange Place
to the foot of First street, has found ready
confederation in the request of the Jersey
City and Bergen horse Rail Road Com
pany for permission to extend their tracks
through First street to the Hudson River
There are some who think that they see
some connection between this prosr ectlve
chang and the elevation of the company s
railroad tracks. The company stands
ready at its own expense to make the ele-
Walton, and the proposition has lain dor
mant in the Board of Aldermen for several
months past. Some merchants on Newark
avenue and some tradesmen in the vicinity
OF the railroad yards protested against the
granting of the permission. The company
it is claimed, has full legislative authority
to run trains into the city, on elevated tracks
to the foot of First street, and it may be
because of desire to avail itself of this
authority, that the proposed change of
ferry location is wunted. The tide of
travel and business is along the streets
leading to the ferries, and ferry at the
foot of FIRST street with none at the foot of
Exchange Place, would destroy the bust
ness values of property IN Newark avenue,
and give boom to the property along the
more northerly avenue of travel suggested.
In our view the possibility of the ferries
being moved to the foot Of First street is
the most interesting local possibility this
community has been Obliged to face in very,
very many years.

giveit is not an edifying one. Yet that
seems to have been practically the story of

The Jersey City police force is not made up
of especially valuable material, but 1t
gratifes us to believe that there
are few. if any men, left on it,,
who will slaughter their families for ask

let us ask if it is not possible to enforce a
rule amcng policemen that that they shall
carry their pistols only when on duty,
leaving them at the police stations when
they so off for rest? Poor Mrs. Burch
seems to have stood IN dread of her hus-
bands brutal weapon for the very day
that he shot her she searched for it, with a
